Oh, Louise...!.
The Trans experience is not homogeneous or 'easy' (just like any other LGBQ experience) but we are kind of used to much more palatable ‘Trans stories' because that's much more easier to digest. Transitioning twenty, thirty, forty years ago was no walk in the park. Just listen to what Louise has to say about her journey. It's illuminating.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to our Trans elders”, someone commented on YouTube. And they are not wrong. We do.

Any community owes a debt to those who came first and blazed a trail for the rest of us to follow. And we all owe a debt to anyone who blazed a trail to simply be accepted as themselves.

Too many people want to airbrush out the harshness of rocky beginnings.

ReplyDeleteThis was less about the struggle to transition than about how she danced in the clubs. The important thing here, from my perspective: she was (and is) free to express herself and she's happy.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteThis is a fascinating story, from her early life through the clubs and her engagements with others. She found her community. I wish this for so many others, as well as finding happiness.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
